Expression of -gal epitopes on HeLa cells transduced with adenovirus containing 1,3galactosyltransferase cDNA
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Alpha1,3galactosyltransferase (alpha1,3GT) synthesizes alpha-gal epitopes (Gal(alpha)1-3Galbeta1-4GlcNAc-R) on glycoconjugates in nonprimate mammals but not in humans. Transduction of alpha1,3GT gene into human HeLa cells by an adenovirus vector allowed for accurate kinetics studies on the appearance of alpha1,3GT and of its product, the alpha-gal epitope, in the transduced cells. Mouse alpha1,3GT cDNA was...
